    He also alleged to Channel 5 that “three gay dudes [were] next to me, touching my leg”, before the violence preceding his arrest.

    “I [got] scared,” LaBeouf added. “I’m sorry – if that’s homophobic, then I’m that.”

    Alternate headline, “Self admitted homophobe Shia LaBeouf doubles down on homophobia after assaulting three men.”

      Random question. If a woman was getting touched by 3 guys, would she be justified in getting violent towards them?

        Random question. If a woman was getting touched by 3 guys, would she be justified in getting violent towards them?

        No need to be coy like there is some double-standard. Lets add the context from the LaBeouf situation for your question for an apples-to-apples comparison:

        If a woman was asked to leave a bar by an employee because they were harassing other patrons, then she punched the employee before leaving, then she returned later outside the bar and started punching another patron and headbutted a third while yelling at the men “say ‘Christ is Lord’! Say it! Say ‘Christ is Lord!’” would she be justified in this violent towards them?

        I would say, no. No, she wouldn’t be justified.

          I’m just replying to the text you quoted. If there is a lot worse context, why not quote that?

          If people randomly start touching me, fists won’t be far behind. If that’s not actually what happened, it seems strange for that to be the part you quote.

                The expected etiquette upon posting in a forum thread dedicated to an article is that each poster has at the very least read the article. Your post could have been the elaboration of oc’s post that stated the far worse offense to the shock of casual readers as opposed to detracting from the actual discussion.

                To answer your question in earnest, yes, because a double standard enforced as a means of countering an existing inequality that society refuses to correct is a better, albeit not best, solution than blanket condemnation. Another example would be that a gay male being touched in a bar by straight men would also be within his rights to respond with violence as statistically gay men are more likely to be victimized by straight men than the other way around. For supporting example, see article above.

      “Assault” is a threat or attempt to harm someone. “Battery” is actually physical contact. Being “charged” in this context is being officially given criminal consequences, where you will have a court date and go to trial (or make a plea deal before trial).

        In some states. This was a common Reddit distinction that isn’t true everywhere (but is here).

        In Texas, it’s assault all the way down. Add a weapon, aggravated assault, etc.
